  • Yo-Yo Coworker

    We had a newish part-time coworker working at one of our sister buildings, site building #3. We're all trained to work Security at any of the 3 buildings at our 'Site' though some prefer to stay at one location. The schedule was pretty much set and steady.

    then, with only a day's warning, newish coworker handed in his resignation and said he had interviewed and accepted a position with the temp agency located at site building #1, and so would be quitting the security company; it was really a breach for him to interview at the site he was posted at in the first place, wondered what he was doing at building #1 on his day off; must have had a secret interview with the temp hiring manager, who not having been to building 3 didn't know he was employed by us! So he was out for a week or so waiting for the new job to start, leaving us scrambling to cover his hours.

    This guy HATES working with people, or even interacting. I've gotten the cold shoulder more than once just trying to offer the guy a break from his post to use the bathroom! When we saw he was hired as a 'temp' we were all shaking our heads...Building #1 is chaos.

    His first day working in building #1 for the temp agency he quit by lunchtime and ran to Boss's office to ask for his job back! Beg, really. Luckily, Boss had a feeling he wasn't going to like the new job and never submitted the resignation paperwork and kept all his uniform stuff.

    But jeeze, loyalty, right?

    I understand the boss anticipating his flaking out at the new place, but I'm a little worried that he didn't lay down the law (or just tell the guy to go f*** himself) with regards to jobhunting on-site o_O Any chance Bossman will at least take this opportunity to whip this guy into shape?

        I can't believe your company is this desperate. At least hire him back at a smaller salary ("new hire"), that'll teach 'em!

          He does a very boring job in a very boring building that boss would rather not waste skilled people on. Possibly, not taking him back would F-up our schedules for the next month when we just managed to pull ourselves back together from the last few people let go. He certainly wont be getting any special treatment though!
